THE ADVENTURES OF TOM SAWYER
Mark Twain (1835–1910) was the pen name of Samuel Langhorne Clemens. He was born in Missouri, and raised in the town of Hannibal – which is the setting for his two greatest novels – The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (1876) and Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1885). As a young man, Twain worked for a local newspaper, and then as a riverboat pilot on the Mississippi River. He worked as a miner in Nevada, but then returned to newspapers, working as a journalist in a number of local newspapers. He wrote books about his travels in the U.S. and around the world, but his first major success as a writer was The Adventures of Tom Sawyer

Let me paint. Have my catapult.
